You have to find the angle of sunlight and the pole , which then cast a shadow
length of the pole is equal to 3.1m
creating a hypotenuse of 4.52m
the angle will be
[email protected] = opposite side / hypotenuse
= 1.46/4.52
= 0.32 that's 18.66 °
now for the building sin18.66° = opposite/hypotenuse
0.32 = 36.75/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 114.84 m
thus using Pythagoras theorem
114.84*114.84 = 36.75*36.75 + x^2
which comes around = 108.8 roughly 109 metres long

What is the solution to the system graphed below?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the solution to the system graphed below.

If a system of equation have 2 linear equation then the intersection point of both lines lines is the solution of the system of equations.

In the given graph two straight lines intersect each other at (-1,-1).

Point of intersection = (-1,-1)

So, by using the given graph we can conclude that the solution of given system of equations is (-1,-1).

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Answer:

The height of the seat at point B above the ground is approximately 218.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The radius of the Ferris wheel, r = 125 feet

The angle between each seat, θ = 36°

The height of the Ferris wheel above the ground = 20 feet

Therefore, we have;

The height of the midline, D = The height of the Ferris wheel above the ground + The radius of the Ferris wheel

∴ The height of the midline = 20 feet + 125 feet = 145 feet

The height of the seat at point B above the ground, h = r × sin(θ) + D

By substitution, we have;

h = 125 × sin(36°) + 145 ≈ 218.5 (The answer is rounded to the nearest tenth)

The height of the seat at point B above the ground, h ≈ 218.5 feet.

If x represents the number since 1988 what does x=32 represents
Alenkasestr [34]
<h3>Answer: The year 2020</h3>

Explanation:

x is the number of years since 1988

x = 0 represents the year 1988

x = 1 is the year 1988+1 = 1989

x = 2 is the year 1988+2 = 1990

etc

x = 32 is the year 1988+32 = 2020
